Illustrated by
Aurélie Fronty.
Of the many picture-book biographies of Malala Yousafzai, this French import departs a bit as it frames her life more directly in the politics of Pakistan. Frier tells Malala's inspiring story with conviction; Fronty's illustrations employ a striking folk style with bold colors. Extensive back matter includes Malala quotations and notes (with photos) on Pakistan, schooling, and religion. Reading list, timeline, websites.
